Get Into Your Dream School

Our Harvard tutors will guide you through each step of the college application process, helping you construct a narrative that highlights what makes you unique.

At HSA Tutoring, we know that everyone has life experiences and characteristics that set them apart, and this is what we help our students showcase in their applications to each university.

All of our sessions are personalized 1-on-1 virtual meetings with a Harvard student. You can begin working with a Harvard student for virtual college counseling starting in 8th grade until the end of your senior year of high school.

EXPRESSING YOUR VOICE

College Essay Help

The most important part of every application is the essays. These allow you to talk about experiences and perspectives that you can't adequately convey in other parts of your application. Our Harvard tutors will help you brainstorm topics for the Common Application essays, plus supplemental essays, editing them until they are ready to submit. Ready to get started? Take the next step.

SPEAKING CONFIDENTLY

Interview Prep

College interviews are often overlooked in the college application process, but they are critically important; after all, this is the only time someone from the university will get to meet you face-to-face and hear your actual voice. Our Harvard tutors will help you develop strategies to calm nerves, answer common interview questions, and speak about all of your accomplishments in a compelling manner. Ready to get started?
